XLP-120-AHN "Devourer"

the infinite jukebox was a project out of a hackathon hosted at MIT a decade ago, the program accepted uploads of audio files and hosted them alongside an analysis of the song that allowed the player to play the song and jump through it in such a way it would never end.

i remember very fondly at my first programming job listing to Booker T. & The MG's - Green Onions on infinite loop while writing alarm handling code. there were options for tuning the playback, adjusting how similar sections of the song needed to be, how often branches would be taken, and an option to play out to the end to end the song if you wanted.

there's a lovely writeup about the original jukebox here: https://musicmachinery.com/2012/11/12/the-infinite-jukebox/

of course, a site where you could upload any song and listen to it for free wasn't going to stay up forever, and eventually it was taken down and i sorta forgot about it for a decade

i have just discovered that not only is it still out there, there's a modern version that uses spotify to source music tracks you can host on your own if you so choose, and you can just use it directly at The Infinite Eternal Jukebox

check out how it handles the songs Jessica or Pegasus by The Allman Brothers Band

I am saving. This I like this

Edit: updated to include the recent addition of tag filtering/muffling! ‡

I'm a veteran adult artist, and I'm also a writer who takes sex-positivity kinda seriously in regards to how I make and share my content. I'm seeing a lot of inconsistent tagging and CW practices on NSFW content on Cohost so far, so I wanted to write this little guide on how to use tags and content warnings, ideally so that your content:

1. gets seen by the people who want to see it, and

2. doesn't get seen by the people who don't.

The end result of this is more eyes on your work, not less, because proper tags and CWs actually result in more people finding and accessing your work.

Note: this post is written primarily from the perspective of drawing erotic or pornographic images, but you can adapt these points for writing, photography, or for other types of drawn images as well.
